Not knowing what vehicle you have and the coolant reservoir is full, you may have a plugged up heater core or a temp blend door at fault. Run the engine and get it up to operating temperature (195 degrees F). Leave the engine running and open the hood. Feel both heater hoses with your hands. If one is hot and the other is noticeably cooler you probably have a plugged up heater core in which case you can try to flush it out. If both hoses are hot you may have a temp blend door that is not functioning in which case replacement or repair of the temp blend door switch or actuator would be necessary.

What is a heater coil and a heater core?
The heater coil and a heater core is the same thing. Hot water circulates from the engine and through the heater core then back to engine generating heat for your heater system.
What would cause the internal vents to blow cold air when the heat is on?
check both heater hoses under the hood with engine at running temp. if only one hose is hot your heater core is restricted( try flushing it out),m low coolant will also cause no heat since the heat comes from the hot coolkant in the heater core. if both hoaes are hot chances are the blend air door in the interior heat unit is faulty or climate control is not calling for heat.
How do you bleed the air out of the heat system in a truck?
Set the heater control to hot. Now start the engine with the radiator cap off. Run the engine until you see no more air bubbles escaping from the radiator. If the engine has bleeder valves on the cooling system use them to remove trapped air.
Why wont your car start first thing in the am but is fine all day after the first start?
It could be that the starter or solenoid is in a bind after the engine warms up. Metal expands and contracts with temperature. This is only a solution if it starts when cold which would be the first time it is started. Try starting it cold then shut it off before it gets hot then see if it will restart. If it won't start when hot maybe try replacing the starter. Hope that helps you out.
1999 dodge caravan heater blows cold air?
First thing to check is open hood and feel heater hoses going into heater core located on r/s of vehilcle if sitting in driver seat.If they are both very hot and feel the same temp,blend door in heater box is not operating correctly.If one heater hose is hot and the other is cooler than chances are the heater core is plugged.In either case a professional would be your best bet for repair.Hope info was helpful.
Would the engine get hot on a 2001 expidition if the heater hoses were backwards?
This will not effect the engine in any way
Why would engine run 195 degrees but heater not get hot?
Plugged heater core. Faulty temp blend door mechanism.
1998 transport over heating. when the temp gauge is normal heater is blowing hot when temp gauge gets hot heater blows cool replaced thermostate Why would it be over heating?
This would indicate that the system is low on coolant when the gauge is hot. Not enough coolant to service the heater core.
Why would a car heater blow cold air but when it's moving it blows hot air?
check heater core could be cloggedCheck the engine coolant level also.*no, the heater relies on the engine for heat and when you drive the engine warms generating heat:)*

What would cause the heat to stop working and engine to run hot on a 1996 Cadillac deville?
Heater coil
What is the point of using a hot water heater?
It is a water heater, not a hot water heater. There would be little point in using a hot water heater. I assume that is your point.
What would cause a car to lose heat?
Your heater is powered by your heater core. Your engine coolant runs through your engine gets hot, runs through the core heats the air, then back out to radiator. You probably need to replace your heater core.
Why is there no heater working on your 1990 Dodge Grand Caravan?
The heater would not be working on a 1990 Dodge Grand Caravan if the heater core is damaged or blocked. Hot coolant from the engine must flow through the core to allow hot air to pass into the cabin.
Does heat in a car run off gas or oil?
The heater in your car uses waste heat generated by the engine. The hot coolant from the engine flows through the heater core causing it yo get hot. A fan then blows air over the hot heater core into the vehicle.
Why would your engine not get hot enough?
If your engine temperature gauge is indicating a lower temperature than normal ( it sounds like the engine cooling thermostat is sticking open or not closing all the way ) Mine does that but I still get good heat from the heater in the winter time and my check engine light hasn't come on ( if my vehicle had to sit outside in the winter I would have the thermostat changed )
What would cause the heater on a 1997 Grand Am Gt to not warm up completely and only blow slightly warm air?
It could be the thermostat on the engine. If the engine does not warm up adequately the heater will never blow hot air.
